💬What Providers Tell Us

Based on community experience — not official guidance

Inspectors check for signed LIC 613A forms in every child's file during routine visits. They pull 3-5 files at random and look for the parent or authorized rep signature and date. The most common write-up happens when you have the form but it's unsigned, or when you switched to a new enrollment packet and accidentally dropped the 613A. Keep a checklist taped inside each file folder so you can see at a glance if anything is missing before an inspector does.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers based on public CCLD data and regulation text. May not reflect recent changes.

What is the Personal Rights Form Requirement?

California Code Section 101223(b)(1) requires every child care center to give each authorized representative a copy of the Personal Rights form, known as LIC 613A. This specific form outlines the rights of every person receiving care in a licensed facility, and CCLD inspectors verify the exact revision date printed in the footer to confirm you're using the current version. For your facility, this means having a signed, current LIC 613A in every child's file, ready for review whenever an inspector pulls a folder.

How common is this citation?

According to California CCLD inspection records as of March 15, 2026, 6 facilities have been cited for this violation in the past 90 days across 4 California counties. That works out to roughly 1 in 6,667 inspected facilities receiving this citation. Los Angeles County leads with 3 citations, followed by Alameda, Fresno, and Ventura counties with 1 each. While the overall rate is low, this citation tends to cluster at facilities that recently updated their enrollment packets and accidentally dropped the 613A from the new paperwork.

What triggers this citation during an inspection?

Inspectors pull 3 to 5 child files at random and look for a signed, dated LIC 613A with the correct revision date (9/96) in the footer. Based on CCLD inspection patterns, the most common write-up happens when the form exists but is unsigned, when an outdated photocopy is used, or when the signed copy is kept in a central binder instead of the child's individual file. If an inspector opens a folder and the 613A isn't right there, they document the deficiency immediately, even if you can locate it elsewhere in your office.

How can I prevent this citation?

Tape a checklist inside each child's file folder listing every required document, including the LIC 613A. During enrollment, hand the form directly to each authorized representative listed on the identification and emergency form and get their signature before filing it. Once a month, flip through 5 random files and verify the 613A is present, signed, and shows the current revision date. This 10-minute monthly check catches gaps before an inspector does.

What should I do if I receive this citation?

Print fresh copies of the current LIC 613A from the CDSS website and distribute them to every authorized representative who is missing one. Get each form signed and dated, then file it in the correct child's individual folder. Audit every active enrollment file the same day to catch any other missing or unsigned forms. Document your corrective actions with dates for your Plan of Correction. For complex situations, consider consulting a licensed childcare compliance specialist.
